Which side of the plane to sit from Turbat International Airport (Turbat) to Gwadar International Airport (Gwadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Makran coastline and the unique Hammerhead peninsula of Gwadar as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Makran Coastal Highway
The thin ribbon of asphalt winding through one of the world's most scenic desert coastal routes.
Pishukan Coastline
Beautiful views of the western bays where the desert sands meet the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
Hammerhead Peninsula
The massive Koh-e-Batil plateau which gives Gwadar its distinctive hammerhead shape on the map.
Gwadar Deep Water Port
Aerial perspective of the modern port infrastructure and cargo ships docked at the terminal.
This side is essential for seeing the 'Hammerhead' rock formation. During the winter months, the air is much clearer, providing unobstructed views of the horizon where the desert meets the sea. Late afternoon flights offer a golden glow over the sedimentary cliffs.
Kech River Valley
The winding riverbed and date palm groves that define the oasis of Turbat immediately after takeoff.
Makran Coastal Range
Dramatic, jagged sedimentary rock formations that look like a lunar landscape from above.
Gwadar East Bay
The shimmering waters of Demi Zirr and the bustling fishing activities near the shore.
Watch for the stark contrast between the desert peaks and the deep blue of the Arabian Sea. Early morning flights are ideal as the low sun angle creates long shadows, highlighting the sharp textures of the mountain ridges.
